Introverts Galaxy Podcast

Here's the rest of the audio of a talk with Michael about our personalities, life, career changes, growing up, getting older, social anxiety and more. Apologies for the bad audio.

About this podcast:

I was afraid to be myself for years. I pretended to be comfortable in social events, parties, work meetings. But inside I was struggling; afraid of being judged and saying something stupid. Then I read a book called Quiet by Susan Cain. This book changed my life.

Yesss I am back! Forgiving is one of the hardest things I have done on my personal journey of growth. In this episode I tell you a bit about my evil witch Stepmom. 

Seriously I started practicing forgiving this year and it had a big impact on my life. I never imagined or believed forgiving is so important. Well I have done it and can't wait to tell you about it.  Sound sucks! please forgive me

10/24/25 update: i thought i forgave and later i noticed i did not; i still had anger, hurt and other big emotions about her. It took a few years to process this stuff. Now i am 80% confident I have forgiven much of that stuff. I also confused forgiving with 'this will stop hurting when i forgive'

How I felt and navigated socializing as an immigrant in the USA in 1994. I was 14 years old and started High School in 10th grade. This is what it was like.

I was afraid to be myself for years. I pretended to be comfortable in social events, parties, work meetings. But inside I was struggling; afraid of being judged and saying something stupid. Then I read a book called Quiet by Susan Cain. This book changed my life.

I met Adrian a few years ago at a toastmasters club in Plant City FL. I learned a lot about public speaking and real estate investing from Adrian and am grateful to have him on the show. In this conversation, we discuss gaining confidence, finding your purpose, and being yourself.

I fly Solo in this episode to talk about some of my recent experiences with fear of failure, caring about what others think and being myself.

"I've become more confident through failure" Josh Rudin

How did a shy 19 year old, who wasn't taken seriously level up and build a home flipping business in the California high desert?

Josh struggled with social anxiety, introversion and panic attacks. Have you worried you don't have what it takes to build your business; because you are introverted? 

Josh tells his story how he built his real estate business, developed relationships, learned from failure (he had to evict his first 5 tenants) and gained experience and confidence.

If you ever worried about asking someone on a date in high school you will relate to this (I did this twice in high school and got shot down twice). Stick around to hear about Josh's first date in high school.
